We were talking for a while and I decided to shoot a text to my wife in case she wondered where I went, at which point I woke up in my own bed in the present day. Dreams are so fucking weird.
I feel a bit unwell so had a lie down this afternoon. I got out of bed in a place I lived in 20 years ago, felt hungry, decided to go out (took my son for some reason) and walked down a cold, wet, and dark Southampton street, through subways and past an office where I used to work. I remembered the bottom floor had vending machines and wasn't in a secure area, so I walked in and got talking to my old boss.
Lewd, wtf
@deadsuperhero Hard work
The new Metallica single is really pretty good. I'm pleasantly surprised. #metal
@checkervest I missed quote marks
@checkervest David Simon (before becoming full-time rage-peddler) had a really good rant about 'TV Journalism' back in The Wire era.
@checkervest What sort of fan are you?
@checkervest There's.a cockiness about it too, as in "Oh you're not watching it? Well you're a loser."
@checkervest I really dislike it. It's very Web 2.0 and needs to die.
@checkervest Long ago I had a chat with friends about this. I think spoilers are rude, generally, but it's not clear where to draw the line. Everyone knows about Keyser Soze and "I see dead people" but everyone agrees doing this with an active TV show is just really fucking shitty.
@checkervest It's very, very hard to avoid spoilers nowadays.

@fitheach That's beautiful.
The absolute best thing I've read about the whole Sam Harris shitfest.
